air vs. coilover

Rockwells607 · May 31, 2011

anyone know if the 2.5 air shocks are comparable to a coilover or not worth it? I gotta buy 4 of something and dont know which way to go, I called FOA 2 times in the last week, left them my number, they havent called back either time and both times i called i sat on hold for over 10minutes, doesnt sound like they got very good service there and i havent even bought anything yet!

i didn't have any luck with FOA customer service either.... their quality definitely explains the cheaper price

I have been pretty happy with my 2.5 air shocks - finding someone who knows the valving would make them great - i have to adjust the nitrogen in mine when the weather changes drastically

F.O.A. has been good to me and haven't have any issues with them or their product.... just my .02 FWIW

i cant even get a sales tech on the line, they just put me on hold until an operator takes my number so they never call me back, lol i dont know what their deal is but it sure doesnt make me wanna order a set of shocks if im having this much trouble even talkin to a tech.

Get in touch with Labronn at CSC Fab. i think he can get a good deal on some coilovers. Also u may want to check with Wide Open Design.

Talk to EOR, they carry every brand of coilver out there and good prices. For the money a 2.0 coilover is around cost of 2.5 Air Shock. Coilovers are a much better option in my opinion simply because the shock only has to dampen and not also set spring rate and ride height. Those are drawbacks of air shocks, they have to do 3 things and there are a lot of variables

DUDE IVE PERSONALLY HAD EVERYTHING FROM OLD SCHOOL LEAF SPRINGS, COIL SPRINGS , BUGGY LEAFS AND AIR SHOCKS . I RECENTALLY BOUGHT SOME COIL OVERS FROM EOR TO REPLACE MY AIR SHOCKS AND IT MADE A TON OF DIFFERANCE..... AIR SHOCKS ARE NOT WORTH THE TIME TO BOLT THEM ON!!! THEY SUCK IN EVERY WAY YOU CAN IMAGINE. CALL JOE AT EOR AND HE WILL HOOK YOU UP. BUYING AIR SHOCKS IS LIKE PISSING YOUR MONEY AWAY.
